Captain Thomas o. Selfridge of the navy.
who was recently detached from the COM
mand of the Omaha and ordered home bv
Rear Admiral Chandler, commanding the
Asiatic Squadron, has been directed by Sec
rotary Whitney to return to his vessel with
out delay. Captain Selfridge's case has been
carefully considered by Secretary Whitney,
who has concluded that the officer cannot be
held responsible for the accidental death of
the Japanese who dug up shells fred from
the Omaha and attempted to extract the
powder from them. Every reasonable pre-
caution was taken by Captain Selfridge to
prevent accidents from the explosion of
shells. The government of Japan has in
formed Secretary Whitney that, after an in
vestigation, it is of the opinion that neither
the United States or its representatives can
in any way be held responsible for fatalities.
The members of the Japanese legation have
assured Secretary Whitney that no blame is
attached to Captain Selfridge or the officers
OF his vessel. Secretary Whitney, however,
thinks it advisable that the department
make an official investigation of the subject.
and will order court to convene on board
the flagship of the Asiatic squadron, and in
quire into the circumstances.

Fishing on Weld Pond.

Mr.. f. E. Rollins and his son have been
fishing on Weld Pond.i They remained three
days and they had great luck, securing the
fifty pounds of fish allowed by law. While
there prominent Portlander appeared on
the pond. he had his two rods out of his
boat, one on each side and sat in the stern.
while man propelled the craft One rod
and line was busily employed, but the other
didn't seem to do much. Finally the gentle.
man turned to his boatman and asked him to
see what was the matter with that line, for
he thought the bait was off the hook. The
boatmau examined it and discovered a dead
trout of about a half pound weight attach
ed to the hook. The fish must have been
dead for about two honrs.

Point, is not of the Kennebec variety. Ken
nebec shad rarely exceed three and half
pounds in weight and never reach seven
pounds. When Mr.. Smith was commissioner
of fisheries in 1880 some Maryland shad were
placed in the Kennebec, and Mr.. Smith mas
no doubt this one is one of their descendants.

seventy tons and each makes from four to
twelve trips to Portland year. They are

cargoes of flour, corn, meal and groceries.
The schoonerS go with their goods to Deer
Isle, fremont, Bar Harbor, Blue Hill, Cas-
tine, Belfast, Bangor, Eastport, Labec, Han
cock, Prospect Harbor, Machias, Pemberton.
Calais and other places. If there is freight
enough to warrant it, number of packets
will run on the Bangor line. One or two
have already been sent down there this sea-
son. There are enough vessels to take all
the cargoes which may be consigned to Ban
gor. AS yet. the enforcement of the inter
state commerce law has had no great effect
on the packet trade.
